I'm originally from Boston where I barely survived getting a degree in Film Scoring from the Berklee College of Music. Some of my songs have appeared in movies (Phineas Gage appears on the soundtrack of White Face by Brian McDonald - "Audience Award at the 2001 Slamdance Film Festival) and I've had material licensed by those whacky cats at MTV for their timeless show called "The Real World." Incidentally, they paid us a buck to license two songs (no lie). The Stranger has called my material "Distinctively Entertaining, The Seattle Weekly labeled the music "Dark Pop" and I think it was the Seattle Gay News who said I was insane in very disturbing way. Actually, they didn't say that - they said much nicer things like "for those who prefer their music to cast a dark yet happy shadow" and " Vocalist Karl Stevens can growl like a young Tom Waits." Anyway, over the years I've had some great opportunities to play with a lot of fearless and courageous musicians including Bill Horist, Eyvind Kang, Amy Denio, Jim Knodle, Kaz Murphy, Nancy Wharton, David Crellin, and a zillion others.
